The last time I went to the circus was in 2001! Can you believe it’s been that long? I remember it was just my daughter and I for a mommy-daughter date. Quality time with my children and family is more important to me now, more than ever before. With terminal …
This is a blog post that I really don’t want to write as it pretty much reminds me that my boys are growing up way too fast and that thought nearly brings tears to my eyes. Josh is currently a Sophomore in high school, just finished his first semester for …
My December scan went so well that I really had no concerns about my March quarterly scan. About a month before my scan, my friend Liz told me about a NBTS (National Brain Tumor Society) “TED” style talk up in LA on the same day as my scan, only at …
We were chosen to blog about the Harlem Globetrotters, as you saw from the last post I gave out a discount passcode and was given tickets for the 5 of us to attend. Faith happened to be down from Vegas, but I didn’t know she would be, so she didn’t participate …

When Josh finished elementary school and chose which middle school he wanted to attend (based solely on friends) we were told that the 2 years spent in middle school would fly by, and they weren’t kidding! We enjoyed our time at Diegueno Middle School as well as his teachers and …
As our boys are in different schools, their breaks don’t quite line up. Zach and Ben have 2 weeks of Spring break while Josh has only one which luckily is his brothers 2nd week. A little while back, Sean and I decided that it would be good for Sean to …
In my quest to celebrate EVERYTHING in life post cancer diagnosis, we started doing the “Leprechaun” every St. Patrick’s Day. I think he’s normally supposed to create messes, but I don’t want to have to clean them up. In the past we have done green balloons on the kids bedroom …
Two days ago, on day 3 of this 4th chemo round, it hit me that the day before (March 9th)was Zach’s half birthday and that Josh and Faith’s were 4 days away (March 14th) when Sean would be out of town in Florida for work. Feeling like a horrible mom …
